Wouldn't it make sense to have a system test that runs bdedupestimate?

  • dedup factor format should be 2.34x (like ZFS does the output) and not x2.34. See comment
  • Some commits still contain "Fixup"

With this flag enabled we match complete records instead of
subdividing records into datablocks.
dedup_units can now have different sizes if record based dedup is
enabled.  As such we should only compare the sha results if the sizes
are equal.
Now that records are split into multiple blocks to make deduplication
useful even if backing up smaller files, we need to adjust the
estimate logic to account for that.
